• Windows Live Photo Gallery causes the error Code: 0 x 80010108

  I have a desktop XPS 8500 running Windows 7.  Love it except for one thing: Windows Live Photo Gallery causes the error Code: 0 x 80010108.  Yes, I x it down and go ahead and use my computer but like it to stop.  I have google code and there are a number of fixes called there for him - even though they claim.  But I was reluctant to download anything on sites I don't necessarily trust OR conform to change my registry to fix it.  Can someone recommend a cure to my problem?  I have confidence in this forum for more than 12 years and feel that you will not recommend something that might get me in trouble.

  Thank you

  Hi Bessie,

  Thanks for the reply. I suggest you to uninstall Windows Live Essentials from the computer and update to the latest version. You can download it from the link http://bit.ly/GQ9tPI . Please disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer (printers, external hard drives, flash drives) and do not have any CD/DVD in the drive while following the steps.

  Answer please if you have any questions.

  I just edited a few photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery, and despite an economy of message is to save the changes, when I try and find the image, it has completely disappeared. This feature has always worked and I am devastated pretty that I can't find these aas images that they are for a college course. Any help would be appreciated. They are not in the trash.

• Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host and COM Surrogate stopped working. How do fix you this?

  When I try to use Windows Live Photo Gallery, the program opens, but then I get 2 two errors as shown below:

  (1), Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host has stopped working
  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Please close the program
  (2) COM Surrogate has stopped working
  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
  One of the error messages suggested that I go to Windows Update to see if I could get a fix it.  I tried a few times, but no luck.
  I am running Windows Vista SP2 (32 bit) on a Gateway GM5474 computer.  I loved this machine and problems have been almost non-existent.  I set it up as a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux (11.04) machine as my other OS.  I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would affect the operation of this program, isn't it?
  I also wanted to mention that the creation of Windows DVD works as well, but I'll get some help on this and if I find anything, I'll go back to Microsoft Answers for help.
  I want to thank you in advance for your support.  I got the great help from you in the past.

• Windows live photo gallery screensaver "folder I chose contains no pictures or videos."

  I don't know if it's the same problem, but windows live photo gallery screensaver gives me a message saying that the folder I chose contains no photos or videos.  But in fact, the record has a lot of photos and subfolders have thousands of photos.  This screensaver works fine on a xp computer that has essentally the same set of files.  Are there special issues with the Vista screen savers.

• Error 0 x 80070057 opening of Windows Live Photo Gallery

  Trying to open the Windows Live Photo Gallery, I get error code 0 x 80070057. I removed and re installed the program several times but still does not work. But it does not work on my other laptop. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit on all laptops.

  FWIW... Windows Live Photo Gallery has a database file
  which may be damaged. (uninstalling / reinstalling WLPG)
  does not affect this file)

  If you rename the file... it will force the photo gallery to create a
  new database file the next time, it is launched and the Gallery
  will be as it was the first time it was launched.

  I'm not positive that this will solve the problem you are dealing with
  But if you want to give it a try thefilename is... Pictures.PD6.

  Just rename it to OLDPictures.pd6. This can cause you to
  lose tags and metadata that are not rewritten on
  the photo files.

  The path to the file is:

  Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

  Pictures.PD6 is a file... the following article explains
  How to show hidden files:

  Windows 7 - show hidden files
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/show-hidden-files

  If this does not improve the problem... you can delete the
  new file Pictures.pd6 and rename OLDPictures.p6 back to
  Pictures.PD6 and the gallery should be as it was before.

• "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option is missing from AutoPlay in Windows 7 64 bit

  I saw this question and answer:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7files/thread/5c567ab1-208D-400D-9bce-0598d43a0574

  but I think I have a more serious problem. In Windows 7 RC, when I plugged in my camera or insert a memory card, I could choose "import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery", but in my new installation of Windows 7 RTM, on which I have installed Windows Live Photo Gallery, there is no "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option allotted me in the list of Control Panel AutoPlay or on the AutoPlay pop-up that appears when I plug in a camera.

  How can I get that back? Without this option, I have to go through the manual steps tedious to execute WLPG and manually choose to import from there and say what is my camera. It was much better under Vista and Win7RC when I had the simple auto play option.

  My PC is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but I also installed WLPG on two new computers Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit my parents, and they have exactly the same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  Hello bitoclass,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

  The Windows Live Photo Gallery import Option is not available from the AutoPlay on x 64 systems. Try the underside of work around to see this option.

• How to remove copies of photos from Windows Live Photo Gallery"

  I have 3 or 4 copy of my photos in the live photo gallery Windows

  How can I remove these copies without doing it one at a time

  Hello catnfuzz,

  You will not be able to find duplicate files and delete everything automatically, the best way to get rid of duplicates in Windows Live Photo gallery would be to sort the files by name, compare and delete the files.

  There are also several third-party programs that you help find the duplicate on the computer files, and delete them. I suggest that you use your favorite search engine and look for the file duplicate, find programs.

  DISCLAIMER OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  I suggest that you post your question on the Forums of Windows Live for a better answer to this question. This is a dedicated forum for issues related to Windows Live Photo Gallery:

• [FIXED] WL library error start error: Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error and cannot start. Error code: 0 x 80070035

  Original title: error starting in WL photo library

  Hello guys,.

  I use the photo gallery of WL (latest version) for some time, but one day it stopped working without remembering any important changes that might break a.

  When I try to run it, it gives this error:

  ---------------------------
  Windows Live Photo Gallery
  ---------------------------
  Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error and cannot start.

  Error code: 0 x 80070035
  ---------------------------
  Ok
  ---------------------------

  I tried to reinstall it but without success. I've also renamed the files Pictures.pdX C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery, but with the same result.

  Not to mention that the event log does not contain messages recorded on this subject and also the follow-up of the process with Process Monitor did not show anything that would tell me the cause of this problem...

  If someone from the Live team or an MVP watch that I can send you the output monitor process or any other information that you might find useful.

  Any other suggestions on what I can try next?

  Thank you!

  Chris

  I'm waiting for the confirmation of the guys from the Live team on this, but I've corrected this problem.

  The error came from the fact that Windows registry stalled Chronogram of some access roads network I had on my computer from a former WHS (Windows Home Server) box so basically, Windows Explorer - WL photo library was still trying reach these network paths, even if in Explorer / settings there is no references to WHS, so registry entries in neutral paths and wrong...

  Replace the data of those key in the Windows registry under the HKEY CURRENT USER corrected this problem and I was able to start WL photo library.

  I went to tools, Options, attachments and there are associated programs that should be able to open files - Windows Live Photo gallery for the Microsoft Excel for excel files and JPG files. I actually download and save the files and then open them. Is there any solution for this?

  Go back and delete associations and start again by opening one of these files. Thunderbird will recreate the Scriptures based on your choices and they will then probably work.
